Product description
Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit medium bar 16mm 13.5
The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. So it is a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.
For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is rather 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.
When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.
The Trust Equestrian team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit medium bar 16mm 13.5 from the Trust Equestrian range in more detail today:
The bit Trust Bit Sweet Iron Full Cheek Elevator Bit medium bar 16mm 13.5 is made of Sweet Iron and equipped with full cheeks as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar. The bit has a mouthpiece size of 13.5 centimeters.
Bit thickness
This mouthpiece size is usually well suited for a normal warmblood.
Sidepiece
Full Cheek Elevator Bit
The full cheek elevator bit combines the effect of an elevator bit and a full cheek bit. The full cheek bit laterally limits the horse and gives it stability, and it also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The elevator bit is connected to the bridle via elevator cheek pieces that are pulled through the bit rings. This achieves a leveraged action depending on the degree of rein uptake.
Mouthpiece
Bar Bits
A bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A bar mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.
Bit material
Sweet Iron
Sweet Iron bits are made of steel. The bits have been developed so that surface rust forms on contact with air and moisture. This tastes sweet and stimulates saliva production. Horses therefore readily accept Sweet Iron bits.
